My Dreamy Old Husband

During dinner last night, Xyla had been berated and humiliated by Mrs. Harper all because she had eaten an extra piece of braised pork belly. Meanwhile, Richard continued eating his food, acting like he had not seen her being picked on despite sitting at the same table.

Thus, she had left in a fit of anger. At first, she thought that the Harpers would give in, and Richard would come to bring her back. Unfortunately, she thought wrong. After she left, the Harpers had not even bothered to give her a single phone call. Haha; how foolish of me.

Quietly clicking into Twitter, she glanced through the latest news. ‘Legend of Fan Lihua’ had been showing in cinemas for half a month now. During that period, it had accumulated slightly over 500 million in ticket sales. However, she knew best how much that was actually worth. In the end, the movie was a total disaster—so much so that there was no way to rescue it whatsoever. Many cinemas had even gone so far as to remove it from screenings ahead of schedule.

Although the movie was a flop at the box office, the other leading actors did not seem to have been greatly affected by it. Bethany Nicole and Nicholas Yates were still being endorsed on various variety shows. They only needed to stand in front of a camera to earn several million easily. On the other hand, Faye had posted a selfie of her at Taylor’s villa on Twitter today.

Haha. With just a few simple words, she cleared up the malicious rumors that were going around and attached herself to Taylor, a bigshot in the industry. The Huffs had invested the most money into the movie. Consequently, they, too, suffered the most. As a result, the billions worth of debt that weighed down on Xyla’s shoulders left her gasping for air—never before in her life had she felt as helpless and desperate as she was now.

The collapse of the Huff Family was all over the news by now and everybody knew that she had lost everything. Just a few days ago, I was still the young lady of the Huff Family that was loved and favored by all, the wife of the young master of the Harper Group, and the budding new actress that was rising in popularity within the film industry. But now, I’m no more than a penniless small fry that can only hide in a small motel that costs 100 per night—in the last throes of my life. Soon, I won’t even be able to afford to live in this little motel.

When she ran away in anger, she left without her wallet. All she had on her was her phone and ID card. Not only was she penniless, but she also did not have her debit cards or credit cards with her. Moreover, her Venmo and PayPal accounts had run out of cash. Soon, she wouldn’t be able to pay for her motel room.

the revulsion rising in his heart. He was even starting to doubt his preferences back then. Why did I marry such a useless and disgusting woman? In the two years we’ve been together, how much trouble has she brought to me? I can’t even keep count anymore! If this woman had not taken off her clothes and seduced me back then, I would never have left Sophia. If this woman had not resorted to underhanded means, which nearly caused Sophia to lose her life, and repeatedly tried to bring Sophia down after that, I would not have become a subject of Sophia’s vendetta. But now, Sophia seems to have pushed all the responsibility onto me. Her revenge is targeted at me, and me alone. Meanwhile, this woman remains completely unharmed. No; her current situation has nothing to do with me whatsoever. She had it coming! Besides, even if she died, Sophia would continue to
